IGeneralization Interface

  • Article

 

A relationship between two classifiers in which the Specific classifier inherits and augments some features of the General classifier. Depending on how the features are defined, the instances of the specific classifier might also be considered instances of the general classifier.

Properties

Name Description
System_CAPS_pubproperty ApplicableStereotypes

The set of stereotypes that could be applied to this element. (Inherited from IElement.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty AppliedStereotypes

Each IStereotypeInstance denotes that a stereotype has been applied to this element.(Inherited from IElement.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty Description

The description of this element. (Inherited from IElement.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty General

The classifier that is specialized by the specific classifier.
System_CAPS_pubproperty IsSubstitutable

True if instances of the Specific classifier should be acceptable wherever instances of the General classifier are required.
System_CAPS_pubproperty OwnedComments

Gets Comments contained in this element (not comments linked to it). (Inherited from IElement.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty OwnedElements

Gets Elements owned by this element. Every element has one owner, except the root IModel.(Inherited from IElement.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty Owner

Gets the Element that owns this element. Every element except the root IModel has one owner.(Inherited from IElement.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty Source

The source element of the relationship. (Inherited from IDirectedRelationship.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty SourceElement

Source element of the relationship. (Inherited from IRelationship.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty Specific

The classifier defined by adding information to the generalizing classifier.
System_CAPS_pubproperty Target

The target element of the relationship. (Inherited from IDirectedRelationship.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty TargetElement

Target element of the relationship. (Inherited from IRelationship.)
System_CAPS_pubproperty VisibleAppliedStereotypes

(Inherited from IElement.)

Extension Methods

Name Description
System_CAPS_pubmethod AddReference(String, String, Boolean)

Links a string to an element, usually where the string is a reference such as a URI, modelbus reference, or work item ID. Use the name to indicate the type of reference. Returns an IReference object that represents the link.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod ApplyStereotype(IStereotype)

Applies the stereotype to element. Creates an IStereotypeInstance that represents the extension of the model element by the stereotype.(Defined by ProfileStereotypeExtensions.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod Delete()

Deletes this element and any relationships, owned elements, and shapes.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod DeleteAllReference(String)

Remove all the references of a given tag.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod GetId()

Gets a GUID that identifies this element.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod GetModelStore()

Overloaded. Gets the IModelStore that contains this element.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod GetReferences(String)

Get the IReferences of a given tag that are associated with this element.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod GetRelatedElements<T>()

Gets elements related to this element by relationships of the specified type.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod GetRelatedLinks<T>()

Gets relationships of a specified type from or to this element.(Defined by UmlExtensions.)
System_CAPS_pubmethod Shapes(IDiagram)

Overloaded. All the shapes that display the model element on any open diagram, or on a specified open diagram.(Defined by PresentationHelpers.)

Remarks

Note

The methods defined on this type are extension methods. To use the methods, you must add a project reference to the .NET assembly Microsoft.VisualStudio.ArchitectureTools.Extensibility.dll, and you must include the directive using Microsoft.VisualStudio.ArchitectureTools.Extensibility.Uml; in your code.
